The design and implementation of resource monitoring for cloud computing service platform

Abstract

In recent years, the technology of Cloud Computing has been developed rapidly. It makes IT infrastructure available as a service through the network. Using Cloud Computing, users can find a new effective solution for building systems and applications according to their demands. How to make the existing services reliably run on the cloud platform, and satisfy the high scalability and availability requirements becomes a hot topic. In this paper, we propose a Cloud Computing Service Platform based on OpenStack which supports service management, auto-scaling, security control and high availability, etc. To achieve the effective management of resources and ensure the quality of service, we implement the resource monitoring subsystem. It can monitor performance metrics CPU Utilization, Memory Usage and Network I/O of physical and virtual resource like. The persistent data can be used by the resource management subsystem and alarm subsystem.
